After review of the video, it looks complex but falls short, its detailed but not enough for the size it is, and the proportions are off, and the arms having to hang back on a string kinda seems really cheap, they could have engineered it a better way then that.. the chest should have an Automorph feature that pops his head out of the engine hood section, and the back comes down and the grill splits apart and you snap it into place on the torso, so his chest looks like it does in th movie, so he looks like he does in the movie... Who the heck engineered this guy?? 1st Graders?? Not only that his hand should be there and the gun attach with some sort of magnet mechanism that gives the light on the gun power when combined with the hand, that way you don't have a one arm Bumblebee "all" the time..

I took this from an earlier Post:

Ultimate bumblebee looks like Ultimate Crap!!! I here is a comparison image:


On the left you see the way the car grill is supposed to seperate and become more of the chest versus just a huge slab of the car front folded down as the chest.. and not to mention the stumpy gun arm, which is way to short and looks like he had his hand shot off and is awaiting it to return like Mazinger!!

The chest is way too Bulky, the arms are ok, but I dislike the gun arm because its too short and not longer then the other arm by a 1/3 of an inch..Instead its shorter then the other arm by 1/3 of an inch.. i think..

The other thing I noticed was the legs look similar to bot mode, Nice feet, good thigh area with the car kibble matching somewhat, and from the review pics ...sport articulation, but they are way to bulky, from the side view you can see it..



Come on, its 2007!!! they should be able to do better then this!!! if you stretched out Bumblebees legs, then this design would be thinner, and look a little closer to the movie bots legs..

The helmet and face... this is where I have constantly voiced my disdain over the fact that they are selling an Ultimate Bublebee with no face sheild option included.. what a joke!! come on!!! its simple build the face sheild into the top head and hasve it so we can pull it down over the face...duh... or give us a head that we can substitute.. but geez..


And one more thing......Bumblbee has BLUE eyes!!! not red.... comeon Hasbro.. do you really expect me to buy it cause it makes noise, and moves a little bit, and has a few phrases from the movie, in which bumblebee is mute??

I'll Pass on that piece of trash in plastic form...

ion fact I can't stand 1970s Deluxe Bumblebee, his articulation is crap, and I went online and saw they are selling deluxe toys now under "revision 2" which there are minute details about 1970s bumblebee that have been done.. the first run has a black face, the next has silver... and the chest is a little better, but not much.. so if you get the first run deluxe BB its before a revision was made.. be aware!! In my view they need to Revise BB like 20 times till they get him right!


Bottom line on the Ultimate BB, not worth the money and the effort..IMHO!

I just have to ask after reading all this(thank you), what's your take on the price of Cybertron Supreme StarScream?

I know it's a figure past, but to me that guy sucked more than Energon Omega

AbsumZer0 wrote:Wow. I knew it'd be a shelf warmer after I first heard about the price but I didn't know it was going to suck quite this terribly. For 90 bucks and with all the hype I figured we might get something like a simplified Robosapien, or, at the very least something as interactive as a Furby. Instead we get something with LEDs and pre-recorded sounds whose shoulder and 'wing' joints wiggle slightly when a song is played. And the voice... WTF? Did they just grab anyone at the office to do it? I wonder how much of the $90 price tag is actually going towards licensing the song 'Whip It'.
